However, since the kernel does not have access to a timezone database and therefore cannot convert timezone names to offsets, perhaps the mount option should be something like "tzoffset=0", "tzoffset=1200" etc., with "tzoffset=0" being equivalent to the "posixtime" option implemented by my patch. -- Paul Collins Wellington, New Zealand Dag vijandelijk luchtschip de huismeester is dood - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
